it's so gay back before

I decided to make a gay bowling bag purse. It's just *so* gay. I used Lambs Pride Bulky in red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and purple with charcoal for the gusset.

I knit it up on US 15 needles and my pre-felting dimensions were 22 inches across the bottom and 16 inches up the middle. It took 1 1/2 wash cycles and it felted shorter on length than width. It is rather more carpet bag squatty than it is bowling baggish, but I think I am liking it. It is currently blocking on two boxes of Tazo chai. I am trying to get nice crisp edges. I will shave it and take after pics when it is done drying. I am thinking leather strap handles.

Today's Quote

"The mountains are constantly at rest and constantly walking. We should pay close attention to the walking of the mountains. The walking of the mountains is just like the walking of mankind. Do not doubt that the mountains walk, just because their walk does not resemble our own."-Dogen Zenji-
